About

There was apparently metal and plastic in the chicken that we served in our schools for years. And it was there because some jabroni in the DOE got bribed.

I've heard more about Elon Musk's nine children than I have about kids eating metal sandwiches in a school down the block.

This project is meant to make it easier for New Yorkers to find news that actually affects our lives here.

How It Works

We collect all the news about New York from 16 news sources every day (see below for list) and rank them based on how much they affect life in New York City.

🚇 If the MTA increases their fares, that’ll be ranked HIGH.

📵 If the City Council passes legislation to ban phones in schools, that’ll be ranked HIGH.

🤩 If a celebrity gets into a fist fight in SoHo, that’ll be ranked LOW.

🤡 If De Blasio runs for president again you won’t see it here, because it doesn't matter.

We use generative AI and traditional programming tools to automate the collection, ranking, and summarizing of the news. We were previously posting automated video summaries on TikTok as well. If TikTok or YouTube videos would be helpful, send us an email to let us know.

We gather news from the following news outlets:

• NY1
• New York Times
• New York Post
• CBS News New York
• The City
• The Chief
• Brooklyn Daily Eagle
• Gothamist
• Curbed
• Staten Island Advance
• The New Yorker
• Brooklyn Magazine
• Bklyner
• Greenpointers

Email us if you think we're missing any good news sources (we tried to add the Daily News but their RSS feed is broken.)
